Learn to Shimmy at Sugar Blue Burlesque
Whether you see burlesque as socially acceptable striping or an art form, you’ll definitely release your inner sex kitten at Sugar Blue’s burlesque bump and grind dance lessons. Held at their HQ in Northbridge every Monday at 6.30pm, its an hour of fun and frolics in a female only environment.
This is their drop in session, so the clientèle range from experienced dancers to the barely coordinated, and everyone is too busy concentrating on their own hip movements and snap ups to notice yours. The class feels very supportive and friendly, and the gorgeous instructor, Miss Jane, doesn’t mind how good you are, just that you’re well behaved! The routines are fairly challenging, but she gives options to make it accessible for everyone.
The more dedicated burlesque brigade turn up in costumes every week, with a theme to it – tonight is sailor/kitten and next week is Christmas. Don’t worry if you don’t have a corset/top hat/fishnets/50′s hot pants combo to hand though, as most newbies are fine in just some shorts or tracksuit pants and a t-shirt. The one thing they do recommend is taking a pair of heels with you, which you can move about in.
Sugar Blue also do courses for those who are more serious about performing, or the ‘Fresh Faced Follies‘ are graduating with a show on the 22nd December if you want to see the end results!

Timing: 6.30 each Monday in Northbridge. There are also classes in Fremantle Senior High School on Thursdays at 7.30pm
